prepared with the above portions will serve about four to six people
accompanied by parathas, rotis, puris, nan or rice. This dal is rich in
starch and minerals, it is also considered heavy for digestion and
assimilation, however ginger solves this problem and makes it easy to
digest. It is very good for growing children owing to its rich nutritive
value.
